I've been slow getting back to this but it would appear that one of us, probably me, has misunderstood the other. But it is my position that sex, inside the marriage, is a beautiful thing! The exact opposite of that, casual sex, is very ugly as is all sin.I hope this was not directed at me, because I don't want you thinking I'm some dimwit who listens to everything that comes out of people's mouths. Because I am not.
I am only presenting experiences I've had with people and their screwed up opinions. Please don't take it that I am just sitting on my behind not doing anything.
Seriously. I'm really tired of people making assumptions.
I'm tired, and upset, and ready to cry.
The sexual worries just have/need to be ignored directly by the the Acts of the all-round/universal (Holy) Salvage/Salvation, which firstly may to be only through the mind, by the Opinion/Thought for the concern of (the) all human/soul beings.
If some believer hate the sex, than it becomes vulnerable for satan, because the sex is one of the God's Creations. After the first sin, the "darkness"(satan) used namely the sex for weapon against: the humans, the Creation, and (the) God, by it profanation/desecration/violation. Namely the profanation/desecration/violation of the God's Creation is main reason for the inability/failure of the believers/clerics.
And so, the believers must (to) Respect and Honor the sex and the all other Creations of the Holy Lord God. For example: i do not (any) sex(-ual activity), but i Consecrate it through the right prayer and the right fasting. Of course that if someone from the nonbelievers or the believers have need of sexual relationships, then it is free to have Normal such.
And so, you can abstain from sexual excessiveness?, ok, the true Lord God is on/in your side, or, you can not abstain from sexual excessiveness?, ok, the true Lord God has for Purpose to Heal and Cure(-d) you, because namely this is His Job/Role/Task for/in the all/entire Endless universe.
Before years i also was enemy of the sex, but after the true Lord God make me to Love the human/soul beings even and when they are sexual and when they make sex, and i began to Love them even (and) when i seeing how they make love publicly - in fact, many of us have delighted/admired in/to the enamoured young couples when we have seen them to hug/embrace and kiss each other on the streets - actually this Good feeling(-s) never is not unknown/unfamiliar to us.
We just can be Good without any spoil/self-seeking/self-interests, just as we start and continue to seek the benefits for the others without to seeking/expecting any benefit for itself/ourselves/us.
If you encounter something sexual(-ly)-excitingly, just start to Think about the Showing of God's Love to the other human/soul beings, do not give, just be Good without (trying) to please itself/your passions - just, if necessary, learn yourself to be enough perfect in this.
Genesis 2:20-25 "but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him. And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.",
Genesis 3:1-7 "Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.",
Matthew 19:3-6 "The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause? And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.",
1 Timothy 4:1-9 "Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer. If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained. But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness. For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come. This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation.",
Colossians 2:20-23 "Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances, (Touch not; taste not; handle not; Which all are to perish with the using; ) after the commandments and doctrines of men? Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body: not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh."
Excuse me, i'm sorry for the complex combination of the words.
If you read slowly and carefully the text will understand it, but you must have enough desire for it.
The truth is that some people just (have) Need of Love with a partner from the opposite(-ing) sex, and that from thousands of years in turn, the sex has been being corrupted/defiled/cursed by party of the human religion/spirituality.
Well said MajorNow that is NOT the truth. It may be your opinion but it certainly is not the truth.
Sex outside of the marriage bonds has in fact broken up marriages, which produce broken children. It has produced illigitimate children which all citizens pay for in more taxes. It has spread diseases, STD'S, HIV, AIDS. and death.
Just because sex feels good, does not mean we are to do it. Sex is GOOD because GOD THOUGHT IT UP!!!!!
That is right!. God is the one who came up with sex. And then He said it is for ONE woman and ONE man in the bond of marriage.
Are you stating that it is improper to have sex outside of marrige, and that with God's help, we can do without sex until after marriage?
God gave us a precious gift in sex, as long as we use that gift within His boundaries. As with anything else, when we go outside God's boundaries, we find heartache and problems.
If I understand you correctly, you are saying that most of us have a physical need for sex, but that we have corrupted the gift God gave us in it. Again, I agree that man should take a wife, as Paul said. Man has a way of corrupting anything we touch, especially those gifts from God, and sex is no exception. But as we walk with Him, He guides us in our thoughts and our actions. Anything we do without God is sin, no matter what it is.
Of course husband and wives have problems. They do because they are humans and humansare effected by sin in one way or another. But atleast they are obaying the Word of God.
Major, anyone who has been married knows there are problems between husbands and wives!! I've been married 38 years, and can certain testify to that!! {-D
God knew that would happen when he placed the curse on Adam and Eve in the Garden. There has always been and always will be the struggle for recognition and communication between men and women, and all because of one little bite of an apple! (OK...I know it was really due to the rebellion of Eve against God, and the willingness to follw by Adam, but it involved an apple somewhere!!) ;-D
I am a little frustrated that I can't quite grasp what qtld is trying to say, but I just can't seem to follow 'his/her' logic!!
I hope you are having a great Sunday afternoon. It is finally sunny here, and nearly 60*! I think Spring is actually going to show up this year after all!!!
